published Saturday, September 22, 2012

Athens-Clarke police met with a man Friday night who said he had been robbed.

He had been walking with friends and got separated just after 1 a.m. near College and Madison avenues. He was approached by two black males “who came out of nowhere,” according to the report. One of the suspects put a gun to the victim’s chest and demanded that he tell him his PIN number. The victim did as he was told.

The suspects then took his wallet and left.

Later that evening the victim checked his bank account and all of his funds had been withdrawn, according to the report.

Both suspects were described as being slim with an athletic build. One of the men was a little less than 6 feet tall with a light mustache and was described as being dark-skinned.

He wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and dark pants.

The other suspect was described as being tall, about 6-foot-5, wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt and khaki shorts.
